This walk-out was in solidarity with walk-outs across the country - including at the school in Florida, where the deadly shooting occurred - to demand gun control legislation to prevent future tragedies.

Authorities from Palm Beach and Broward counties are following the students to make sure they are safe, a spokesman told the Miami Herald. He was known to be a risk for violence and state officials knew he meant to buy a gun.

The US Congress is also deadlocked on the gun debate, accomplishing nothing since the shooting in Las Vegas.

The three students were using a cell phone to film the other students who walked out holding signs and explaining why they chose to do so. In a letter to families, the principal of Bethesda-Chevy Chase said Wednesday was scheduled as a normal school day and that attendance will be taken in each class. "It has inspired Falmouth students". "I think a lot of us have the same mindset but it is just that step forward that we don't know what to do", said Dieuleveunt Biringanine, student body president at Service High. "So far, pretty much everybody is excited about it".

"We must move past cliches and exhausted debates and focus on evidence-based solutions and security measures that actually work", he said.
